HOUSEHOLDER: A look at stock-car champs

This week I'll review the area's stock-car champions to wrap up my look at the area's 2012 racing champions.

As with the open-wheel divisions, several York County drivers were among the champions.

In super-late-model competition, Jeff Rine won yet another title at Selinsgrove. For Rine, this marks his eighth Selinsgrove crown and his sixth in a row. Rine won seven times at Selinsgrove on his way to the crown.

At the other side of the spectrum, veteran racer Tim Wilson secured his first-ever Port Royal late-model crown. Wilson won twice on his way to the title.

In limited-late-model competition, Dover's Gene Knaub won his fifth consecutive Williams Grove point title. Knaub won five times at the Grove on his way to the title.

York's Carl Billet won his sixth Susquehanna limited-late-model point title. Billet won three races at Susky this year. Billet's first Susky crown came back in 1986.

Grant Adams won the Trailway/Lincoln combined point title for the limited-late models. Adams won three races at Trailway on his way to the crown.

Craig Morgan won the street-stock point title at Williams Grove this season. The title is Morgan's first at the Grove, with his most recent championship coming in 2005 at Susquehanna. Morgan won four races at the Grove.

Randy Zechman was Susquehanna's street-stock champion. Zechman won only once, but used consistency to win his second crown in three years there. The driver who interrupted Zechman's streak was his son, Dan, who was last year's champion.

Duane Watson won his third Lincoln thundercar crown this season. Watson won four times at Lincoln in 2012.

A.J. Hoffman won his third title in a row in Selinsgrove's pro-stock division. Hoffman won five races at Selinsgrove this year.

At Port Royal, the pro-stock title went to John Heane, who now owns two Port titles, with this year's coming on the strength of three wins.

York's Pat McClane was Susquehanna's Xtreme stock champion this season with four wins there, and Bob Bussey was Selinsgrove's Roadrunner king.

Scott Gobrecht won the Central Pa. Legends Series title this year. Gobrecht won just once this season, but notched 14 top fives and 24 top 10s in 28 races. Gobrecht is the brother of late sprint-car ace Kevin Gobrecht.
